Costs
Professor Regan deals with the new procedural framework and proportionality. He explains the new changes to personal injury (PI) costs, though most readers should be familiar with this by now. He then covers the new test on proportionality, much of which is taken up with history followed by the new rule. There is discussion on what proportionality will mean in practice—the answer largely being we don’t know—only satellite litigation on a case by case basis will clarify for example what sort of complexity can justify higher costs.
